knitting

It's a bright clear day here in Camden. I'm inside cozy and warm with my beloved pets. Mowgli (my big Black Lab)hasn't strayed very far from my feet and the cats take turns sleeping next to me. Lucy my Australian Cattle Dog is out like a light. I've been reading and knitting this morning. Not much writing. I am taking the week off to just kinda regroup since I stopped working.I am also tearing through the house, well tearing through is probably not a good term since I am really going through it at a fast snail's pace but I am getting things done that I wouldn't normally get done if I was working.
I am also knitting a lot more. Working on my son Ian's hat and have a pair of socks that I have to get the heels started. Like anything else if you want to be a good knitter you have to knit. I took a class this last Saturday with three other ladies to learn Portuguese Knitting. I am practicing that each day to become better at that. It really is easier, if I can just become faster...
I love to write and in order to write you have to be a reader. I normally don't read the same genre that I am writing. It takes practice, practice, practice. the same with knitting. I have finished hats and with each one am getting better. My dear husband wears one of my hats. I am now thinking up future projects just like future books that I want to work on.
Well on to more house work and errands...
